T206 Resource, I would appreciate an opinion on this one

[T206Collector]

I think this card has to be analyzed with a very zealous eye. Usually the trim jobs to be concerned of are on the cards with four right angles. A fraudster is not doing his job well if this one is trimmed. He has left himself plenty of space to hack again more carefully, to be more deceptive and make more money. Why didn't he use it?

In any event, the best way to check for trimming in T206 cards is to look at all four sides of the card -- something you cannot do with a front/back scan. You really have to examine the edge cut, cardboard striations, beveling, etc. Or didn't everyone read that article in SGC Collector Magazine a few years back?

Do I think there is a lot to be concerned about here? Yes.

Do I think PSA have monkey graders? You betcha!

Would I make a claim one way or another about this one based on scan alone? No chance.

To declare a trim here so matter-of-factly would ignore the lack of required evidence to prove a trim.
